Trial summary

The purpose of this study is to investigate the metabolic consequences of a moderate weight gain and if the type of dietary fat (saturated versus polyunsaturated) can modify the effects in young healthy adults.

About this study

Official title: Metabolic Consequences of Moderate Weight Gain - Role of Dietary Fat Composition (LIPOGAIN): a Randomized Double-Blind Controlled Study

The purpose of this study is to investigate the metabolic consequences of a moderate weight gain and if the type of dietary fat (saturated versus polyunsaturated) can modify the effects in young healthy adults. Hypothesis: the type of dietary fat can modify the effects of weight gain.

Read the detailed description

Specific goals:

  • Investigate if dietary fat composition influences liver fat accumulation and metabolic risk factors in response to moderate weight gain
  • Investigate if polyunsaturated fat (PUFA) in the diet could counteract any unfavorable metabolic changes that are expected to accompany moderate weight gain
  • Investigate effects of weight gain and dietary fat composition on markers of vascular health
Conditions
Healthy
Being tested
Polyunsaturated fatty acid group, Saturated fatty acid group
Keywords
Liver fat, Polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA), Saturated fatty acids (SFA), Weight gain, Overfeed, Dietary fatty acids, Palm oil, Sunflower oil
Medical subject headings

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Polyunsaturated fatty acid group and Saturated fatty acid group in people with Healthy, run by Uppsala University at 1 site in Sweden.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 2 inclusion and 11 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 9 Dec 2011. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Sweden. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Hepatic steatosis by magnetic resonance tomography (MRT) (time frame: 6 weeks). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT01427140, which also lists 3 linked publications.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 9 Dec 2011.
